- FIX: RA and any HMS system with Sysop flags for mail areas. Fixed RA
Sysop Flag security bug. This should make Xpress respect private
mail.
- ENH: ALL: Packets are left behind in download directory after vacation
saver. Xpress will now delete the original packet during
vacation saver events.
- FIX: RA/QBBS: The H1 Model of Xpress was not updating the highmsgread
variable for some BBSes which use it, RA and QBBS. This variable
is considered somewhat obselete because of the LASTREAD.BBS file.
But it is still updated by these BBSes to keep compatibility with
certain doors. Xpress now updates the variable as well.
- FIX: RA: On 5/15/93, SXRAFIX.EXE was released to the public to fix a
alias/anonymous mail mis-interpretation in Remote Access. The
mis-interpretation was fixed in XPADM.EXE. SXRAFIX.EXE is not
required anymore.
- FIX: PCBOARD: A bug in the creation of QWK packet was found and fixed.
- FIX: ALL: The door will now ignore a user's door password during vacation
events.
- FIX: ALL: The door will now disable enforcement of the download time limit
during vacation events.
NOTE: you can fix this problem in 4.00 by calling the XPVAC program
with the -NT switch.
- FIX: ROBO/TAG:
- AKA addresses were not picked up by XPMAIL during uploads.
Fixed in 4.01b. A legit bug. ROBO and TAG were not including
in the XPMAIL upload aka address check.
- FIX: ROBO:
Xpress Origin line is not being accepted by XPMAIL as
defined in XPADM.
Xpress is correctly checking for blank origin lines coming from
the message area records.
The only thing which could explain this behavior is ROBO
defaulting the area origin line with the system default origin
line. If this is the case, the only thing XPADM could do is to
make a comparision of the area origin line with the system origin
line, and if equal, blank out the area origin line. This will
allow for XPMAIL to behave normally.
- FIX: ROBO and TAG:
When using the -J switch, Xpress will grab the user name as is in
the user database. ie, "Tony Mace". However, ROBO created a
dorinfoX.def file where the name is all upper case, ie, "TONY
MACE". Xpress was creating two accounts.
This may be a generic problem to all systems using a dorinfoX.def
interface file. The door will now make a non case sensitive check
of user names when searching the Xpress User File for active
accounts.
- NEW: ALL: A new configuration option for defining the delay
(milliseconds) for lowering DTR for hangup situations. It use to
be hardcoded with 70 milliseconds. Some machines are sensitive to
this and require a longer delay (XPMAIL default is 500
milliseconds).
See Communication Settings under XPADM.EXE.
- ENH: ALL: Moved the following communication options over to the
Communication Parameters and Options dialog screen in XPADM.EXE
- Hangup Modem for GoodBye
- Carriet Detect
- Reboot if carrier drops
- Local mode follow carrier
- FIX: OPUS Setups only:
In version 3.00, Xpress ignored the -P switch and found the port
number in the lastus*.dat file.
In version 4.00, Xpress uses the -P switch to override the port
number found in the lastus*.dat file (only if the -P switch is
used).
However, like Maximus, OPUS 1.73 passed a small p switch to
distinguish a zero based port number. Xpress was expecting a 1
based port number in OPUS 1.73.
Xpress will now use a small p as the ZERO based com port number,
and a big P as the 1 based com port number
i.e.,
-P<comport> 1 based port number
-p<comport> 0 based port number
Temporary fix for 4.00 setups:
Do not allow OPUS to pass a p switch to the Xpress batch file. If
you cannot prevent OPUS from doing this, then remove the %1 %2 etc
switches from the Xpress batch file and hard code your switches.
The easiest thing to do is to NOT pass any at all. Xpress will get
the information it needs from the LASTUS*.DAT file as it was
designed to do in 3.00.
